Rebecca Burchell , BACP

Rebecca Burchell is a UK-based counsellor with three years of professional experience who works with people facing relationship, family and intimacy difficulties as well as career challenges and a wide range of mental health concerns. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the UK professional body for counsellors, and brings a respectful, sensitive and compassionate style to her work.

Rebecca recognises that life can present difficult and sometimes overwhelming situations. Whether a person is struggling with persistent anxiety, feelings of numbness, sadness, or a sense of isolation when talking with friends and family, she aims to offer a place where they can be truly heard. Her approach invites clients to explore their thoughts and emotions and to consider how past events and current relationships shape their experience.

In therapy she supports clients to shift from asking "what's wrong with me?" to understanding "what's happened to me?" Sessions focus on the person at the centre of the work, progressing at a pace that feels manageable and allowing exploration of important people, life events and typical responses to stress. Alongside her private practice in a counselling room in Lydd, Kent, Rebecca also works as a school counsellor in a secondary school and previously completed two years at a placement supporting survivors of domestic abuse, bringing experience with young people and trauma-informed work.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Remotely

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skills training with reflective work. One strand focuses on structured, skills-oriented methods that help people develop coping strategies for anxiety, stress, sleep and addictive behaviours by teaching step-by-step tools to manage symptoms and everyday challenges. Another strand highlights relational and exploratory work that looks at attachment patterns, family interactions and the impact of past events on current relationships, which can be especially helpful for issues such as intimacy, trauma and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Rebecca works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the pace and style of sessions so the work feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and alternatives such as live chat or text-based messaging allow support to fit around work, family life and differing energy levels. These options make it easier to access consistent, ongoing support from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to commute, helping people sustain progress in a way that suits their daily life.
